“Have you ever heard the phrase, 'Ignorance of the law is no excuse'? A citizen cannot walk into court and use the defense, 'I didn't know it was illegal,”
(NM Political Report) “Why then should government actors be able to essentially use this defense, simply because our court hasn't ruled on almost the exact same set of circumstances?
